Another old fart!

Found a couple of Airfix starter sets of Hurricane Mk1 and Spitfire Mk1a on offer in Aldi before Christmas, had a play with the Hurricane and was drawn back 40-odd years to my youth when kits were in bags and enamel paint was rather gloopy!  A 25 yr career with Betty Windsor's Flying Club fixing the noise-makers took the shine off models, well that and the beer!  Now settled down and have discovered that I am a very basic modeller but who cares, I am doing it for fun!  

 

Some really good instructional videos on YouTube have got me sorted with some airbrushy stuff, need reading glasses to make them these days, just looking forward to playing once the Memsa'ab is happy(ier) with the house and gives this guy a break.  Started on a stash, all Airfix so far, Whitley MkV, Stirling BI/III and the VC set to give me a few kits to play with!  Just need the man-cave set up and away I go, hopefully!

 

Have recognised a couple of guys on here from my past, could be scary! 😉
